    INVITING THE WORLD INVESTING IN DALLAS 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 “A robust tourism industry helps our great city thrive and is a critical component of the Dallas economy. The first thing that visitors to Dallas experience is our hospitality, making the industry vital to establishing and maintaining our reputation around the world.” Eric Johnson Mayor of the City of Dallas TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Message 3 Background & Mission 4 Financial Overview 8 Budget Categories 1| Sales & Incentives 9 2| Marketing 13 3| Site Visits & Tours 16 4| Local Arts & Events Incentives 19 5| Administration & Research 24 Investing in Dallas 26 Big goals. Great partnership. Dallas is well known for its beautiful skyline, its impressive buildings and its rich heritage. What we consider most impressive, though, is the spirit of its people, and our collective power to make change. Big change. Together since 2012, private hoteliers in Dallas have been able to work with the public in a unique partnership with a shared goal: Enhance tourism. Dallas was the first major city in Texas to establish a Tourism Public Improvement District, which by law allowed us to utilize travelers’ dollars in a strategic way to not only grow the number of visitors to our city, but also to enrich the lives of the people who live and work in Dallas. Other cities, seeing our success, have followed suit. As usual, Dallas leads the way, and in a big way, with the most wins by any Texas Tourism Public Improvement District to date. Since the Dallas Tourism Public Improvement District’s (DTPID) inception in 2012, together we have realized a multi-billion-dollar economic impact.

What kind of culture if any has been created by Architourism and is it authen c or inauthen c. What kinds of developments have occurred there recently and what has this done to boost or change the local community. In the 2010 census the city of Dallas saw less than a one percent increase in its total popula on while Ft Worth increased by more than 38%. Did Architourism play a role in this? If so, what? Our analysis will begin with researching the demographics of the local users and types of tourists, their income level, race, educa on and loca on of residency. We will also include looking into the histories of selected sites with respect to their economies, culture, tourist ac vi es, and rela onship to the built environment.

  • Nasher Sculpture Center Commissions Sculpture by Artist
    Nasher Sculpture Center Commissions Sculpture by Artist Charles Long at NorthPark Center Benefiting Three North Texas Charities for City-Wide, Public Art Exhibition Nasher XChange First citywide, museum- organized public sculpture exhibition in the United States to feature 10 works throughout Dallas; On view October 19, 2013 to February 16, 2014 in celebration of Nasher’s 10th anniversary DALLAS, Texas (August 22, 2013) – The Nasher Sculpture Center is pleased to reveal the plans for a newly commissioned sculpture by artist Charles Long that will be located at NorthPark Center and benefit three local charities: Bookmarks, a branch of the Dallas Library, Dallas CASA and the North Texas Food Bank. The work is one of ten commissions for the Nasher’s 10th anniversary, city- wide exhibition Nasher XChange, which will be on view October 19, 2013 through February 16, 2014. Charles Long, a Long Branch, NJ native, currently resides in Mt. Baldy, CA. His sculptures have explored the abstract autonomous art object as a psychological investigation into the nature of self and others and have been made from diverse media such as coffee grounds, rubber and hair from Abraham Lincoln. For his Nasher XChange commission, Long plans to create an interactive, waterless fountain entitled Fountainhead that extends his ongoing investigation into the viewer/artwork relationship through the use of new technologies. The installation performs every function of a traditional fountain, only virtually. Projected images of sheets of dollar bills move serenely down the surface of a sculpted monument, flowing like water, instantly adapting to every nook and curve, accompanied by a serene soundtrack scored especially for it.

  • Deep in the Art of Texas by Carol Strickland
    NEWS OCT. 30, 2013 Deep in the Art of Texas by Carol Strickland Rachel Harrison: Moore to the point, 2013, in progress at City Hall Plaza. Photo Allison V. Smith. ADVERTISEMENT Everything sprawls in Dallas, and the Nasher Sculpture Center's 10th-anniversary exhibition, "Nasher XChange," is even livelier and more capacious than a rodeo. The show is scattered over the length and breadth of the city among all socio-economic and ethnic enclaves (through Feb. 16, 2014). Nasher director Jeremy Strick cited "the explosion" of artists' interventions in public space as inspiration for commissioning 10 artists to create site-specific works that respond to the demographics and concerns of the city. It's a bold attempt to engage the whole, multi-ethnic community (which, in 2010, was 42% Hispanic and 27% foreign- born). Rachel Harrison's 25-foot-tall, hot pink arrow pointing to a pre-existing public sculpture, Moore to the Point, sums up the initiative. When the New York-based artist toured Dallas, she saw Henry Moore's bronze The Dallas Piece in front of I.M. Pei's City Hall, surrounded by barricades. The barriers (since removed) thwarted entrance into the space between the three vertebrae-like forms of Moore's work. "Instead of closing off access to art," chief curator Jed Morse explained during a press tour, "Harrison wants to enhance the experience of it." Nasher officials tout the $3-million endeavor as the first citywide, museum-organized public art exhibition in the U.S. As Morse said, it's an experiment inspired by Joseph Beuys's concept of "social sculpture," socially-engaged practices that involve the community in creating and activating a work of art.
